III-2) Meaning Generation for Great Apes. «Anxiety Limitation» Constraints. IV) Meaning Generation for Humans IV-1) Linguistics and Meaning. IV-2) Evolution and Meaning Generation for Humans. «Self-Consciousness» Constraints. V) Meaning Generation for Robots V-1) Artificial Intelligence, Chinese Room, Symbol Grounding. V-2) Meaning Generator System and Grounding In/Out. Network of Meanings. VI) Summary and Related Themes

2 II) Information and Meaning Generation. Meaning Generation for Life A Meaning is a Meaningful Information produced by a System submitted to a Constraint when it receives an Incident Information that has a Connection with the Constraint. The Meaning is that Connection. Ex: Paramecium in water. Constraint: stay alive. Received information: Increase of acid density. Meaning: Acid non compatible with staying alive Incident information (Acid in water) Meaning Generator System (MGS) Reception Identification of the connection between the constraint and the incident information (Connection: staying alive vs presence of acid) SYSTEM SUBMITTED TO A CONSTRAINT (Paramecium) Constraint S of the system (To stay alive) Meaningful S information (Acid non compatible with staying alive) Determination of the action satisfying the constraint of the system (To move away from acid area) * Generic Constraint => Sub-constraints. * MGS as building block of higher level system. * MGS links system to environment. * Group life Generic Constraint adds to the Stay alive one.

3 III & IV) Meaning Generation for Great Apes and Humans * Huge gap from Life to Humans (consciousness). Intermediate stage: Pre-Human Primate. * Pre-Human Primate (Australopithecus) close to Great Apes performances wise. * Intersubjectivity => Anxiety. Anxiety Limitation as new constraint. Adds to stay alive & group life. Body Self-Awareness Mirror Neurons Intersubjectivity Group Life - Pre - Human Primate - Evolution Self-Consciousness as by-product of Body Self-Awareness - Human - Subject identification to suffering conspecifics Anxiety to be limited Development of : - Empathy - Imitation - Language Anxiety Limitation Development of : - Body Self-Awareness - Group Life - Emotions/Feelings Anxiety Limitation * Development of Empathy, Imitation, Language, Group Life, Emotions, Body Self-Awareness => Positive evolutionary feedback. Anxiety limitation as evolutionary engine. * Evolution to Humans: Self-Consciousness as a by product of Body Self Awareness evolution. * Constraints associated with Self-Consciousness are unknown. Concept of Constraint to be studied. * If anxiety not acceptable/limitable, pre-human primate has to find a niche (chimps) or disappear.

4 V) Meaning Generation for Robots * Application of MGS to Artificial Intelligence (AI): - Strong AI: Computers with right programs can have cognitive states. - Challenged by Chinese Room (Searle) and Symbol Grounding (Harnad). - MGS model separates Grounding in from Grounding out. Incident information Origin out of MGS: 'Grounding out' MGS Reception Received information SYSTEM SUBMITTED TO A CONSTRAINT S Origin in MGS : 'Grounding in' Identification of the connection between received information and constraint Constraint S of the system Meaningful S Information Determination of action satisfying the constraint of the system * Differences in MGS for Life and Robot: Grounding out: no difference. Grounding in: constraints are different. * Need for studies on the concept of constraint. * Meaning from S1 becomes incident information for S2. Networks of Meanings. * Evolution: Different constraints (due to mutations) from parents to offspring.

5 VI) Summary and Related Themes * Content of Meaning Generator System (MGS) approach has been reminded. * Evolutionary usage of MGS has been introduced for life, humans and robots. * Different generic constraints and sub-constraints at different stages of evolution: - Life: stay alive, group life. - Pre-human primates: limit anxiety to be added. - Human: unknown constraints related to consciousness to be added. * Notion of Constraint is key to MGS. Need for philosophical conceptualization. * Anxiety/Anxiety Limitation as evolutionary engine for pre-human primates and humans. - Other evolutionary outcomes due to not accepted anxiety (niche, disappear). * MGS allows introduction of groundings in/out. - Possibility for networks of meanings and for evolutionary groundings. - Application to robots: constraint is key difference between robots and living elements. * Continuation: - Have the notion of constraint analyzed and conceptualized. - Determine sub-constraints for each level of evolution. - Address the grounding problem with MGS based evolutionist networks of meanings. - Analyze components of anxiety/anxiety limitation with corresponding outcomes. - Detail the process of Self-Consciousness as by product of Body Self-Awareness evolution.
